Description Rob Stoddard 2015-02-20 17:51:03 UTC
I've been using Gentoo for years.  I need to install a new system.  I go to the various mirrors (I visited ALL of them!) and not a single stage3 tarball is present on any of them for the most recent few versions (12).  The documentation mentions nothing about installing from a LiveDVD, but that's all that's available now.

Please update your documentation or (I would rather) offer a stage3 tarball.  A minimum install disk would be nice too.

That's for the AMD64, however, same case with x86-32.
Comment 2 Brian Evans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-02-20 18:10:14 UTC
The stage3 tarballs are not in the old version number directories.

They exist in the autobuilds by date.

An example URL of the latest is http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64/ .

You can replace with your mirror and arch as needed.

Thank you.
